Well said, and if you look it as a long time investment and even just as a passion for an animal and hobby that we love, which I am assuming most of us here are, it's going to pay off eventually. For those that just wanna make quick bucks, you should buy stocks.Originally Posted by rabernet

What you just said has been said every single year. The ball python market will be strong for many many many years to come. We won't even SEE all the potential combos that can be made in our lifetime.
There are a lot more sales going on besides at shows, probably more sales behind the scenes than at shows.
Unfortunately - it's the people who want to make a quick buck and panic when their animal doesn't sell in the first six hours they put it up for sale that start slashing prices. Luckily they get out pretty quickly too.
My animals don't sell when I put them up? No biggie - they just grow bigger and get a bigger price tag as they mature. Somewhere someone's looking for a 2 year old pastel female because they don't want to take the 2 years to grow it up themselves that will pay me $1 a gram for my time and efforts for that adult female morph.
